LAS CRUCES - Residents will have the opportunity to fly on an iconic World War II aircraft beginning this weekend.

A B-17G, named Aluminum Overcast, will be at the Las Cruces International Airport Friday through Sunday. It will then be at the Doña Ana County International Jetport at Santa Teresa Jan. 20-22.

Flights on the WWII bomber, owned and operated by the Experimental Aircraft Association, are available with prices starting at $435 a person for EAA members.

Residents who wish to stay grounded can still climb aboard the "Flying Fortress." Ground tour prices are $20 for families, $10 for individuals (8 and under are free with a paid adult). Veterans and active military are welcome at no charge.
